Yes it is a funky little dial. I don't have enough characters here to fully explain it here without starting a thread, so I cheated and shoved it all in the alt text. 🤷 #wristcheck (but not really, since it is a pocket watch).

Every God damned time I install #ubuntu on an old macbook with a Norwegian keyboard (which is more often than you might think), I want to kill myself because of how the keyboard is setup. For exmaple ' is not defined at all. 😱 I finally made some notes for myself […]

Today I saw someone toot, in dismay, people are posting their everyday life to Mastodon when they could simply buy a diary for $1.99. I can't stop thinking about this. What if this is all they have? What if they're isolated with or without people in their life? What if the only kind word they […]

OK we are into Hai (亥) now. Getting late. 😉 #palmcheck

OK not gonna lie, I'm pretty happy with that.

Happy Anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street, to all decent people.

I have been driving, cycling and walking past this old house for years* waiting for it to fail completely but it is still holds up for the most part. * My wife has been paying attention to it since she was a young girl.

People often imagine unicycles as quite small but one built for distance is fairly big. 🤷 #unicycle #unicyclelife

It's a great song anyway but this is a particularly nice cover by the Children's Capitol Choir "Chances" (The Strokes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOqG5KDwcYs

Time for the jump hour I reckon. #wristcheck

@ruari There is one string in Splatoon 2 that says 25:00 and that was kept in the localised versions, and it basically confused everyone who isn’t Japanese about how time works in the Splatoon universe. The whole line makes a lot more sense once you realise it’s 1am… […]

Time for the jump hour I reckon. #wristcheck

So @sotolf reminded me of something I kind of love. The Japanese "30-hour system". Used in nightlife, broadcasting, and transport, the time extends the day past midnight to keep late-night events grouped with the same calendar day. So a club open from […] [Original post on velocipederider.com]

I spent something like $15🇺🇸 on this (mechanical) watch. Absolutely crazy! #wristcheck

WARNING!! Going for a bike ride leads to a good mood!

Sometimes people say that Chinese watch companies are not serious. I just thought I would check the terms and conditions I am agreeing to before purchase. Well, at least they are not Lorem ipsum, right? 🤣

Since you all seemed to like the Roman numeral thing, perhaps you would like some more watch trivia in the form of a 'magic trick'? Go to your search engine of choice and do an image search for: wrist watch. Every [well… almost every!] analogue dial […] [Original post on velocipederider.com]

Here is yet another fun watch trivia. Before World War I, wrist watches were considered a bit too dainty for men. They were considered more of a ladies accessory, often referred to as wristlets. Men typically carried pocket watches, which were seen as more masculine and refined.

How about more time trivia then. So what is the deal with 12 hour clocks if we have 24 hours in a day? Furthermore, why 24 hours? And if they are 24 hours in a day, why are there 60 minutes and 60 seconds? This seems illogical, right? Maybe we should […] [Original post on velocipederider.com]

Ok a little pet peeve about Roman numerals on watches and clocks. I regularly read "smart" comments on watch related Reddit threads and watch reviews that state that dials on some watches are misprinting the 4 as IIII, rather than IV. Maybe this is some long running joke but in case it is not […]

I should leave. I'm supposed to be at work in 2 minutes. #binarywatch #wristcheck

Bedtime, me thinks. Goodnight all! 😉 #decimaltime #decimalwatch #wristcheck

Sometimes people say that Chinese watch companies are not serious. I just thought I would check the terms and conditions I am agreeing to before purchase. Well, at least they are not Lorem ipsum, right? 🤣

I am wondering if I am turning into a watch infuencer. 🤣 I was looking at a watch that has been out for a while but AFAIK nobody was discussing. It is a pocket watch and most of its dial is in Chinese, with unexpected markings as it is a 24 hour movement but 12 entries on the face. While […]

Still halfbiking for the time being. #halfbike

Get in loser, we're halfbiking to work today… ½🚲 #halfbike #fedibikes #mastobikes #cycling #BikeTooter

A little arts and crafts project with some help from @atlemo. We 'fixed' a colleagues wall clock. Will they notice? 😉

This works right. I mean sure the numbers are reversed but the time makes sense to most people this way, right? And yes you are looking at a backwards clock through a mirror in my bathroom.

Yes

03:56!? I'm late for work! #wristcheck #decimaltime

Even a little 24″ wheeled unicycle is all you really need. Maybe not "fast", fast but "fast enough". I just cruised into work today at the same kinds of speeds as a casual bicyclist (my average speed was 16.2 km/h [10mph]). #unicyclelife

Yes, GMX, I am sure you and your TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY SEVEN "partners" care a lot about my privacy.

I got up this morning to make coffee. On my return I found this hairy gentleman had taken my place in bed with my wife! #caturday

I just got a spam message from a electronics shop here in Norway. It is highly offensive to me on multiple levels. It is an invitation to a motivational course for the elderly on AI. I mean WTF!? • I hate spam and avoid being on these SMS/Mailing lists […] [Original post on velocipederider.com]

I need to show progress for an action in a shell script I made for work. I am not a dev and I am not going to vibe code something to replace the script, so the "UI" is just the dialog utililty using ncurses. Sadly this does not have a spinner, which is what I actually want. I want this, as I do […]

One of my kids once made me this coffee cup, which looks to me exactly like something Quentin Blake might have drawn, come to life.

I made these delicious chocolate brownies. Doesn't it make you hungry just looking at it? ☕ 😈

Always nice up at #grefsenkollen

Yesterday, my #lightphone III randomly switched to EDGE and stayed there. It never flipped back to 4G and I didn't notice anything was wrong until this morning. #lp3

Cyclists, when you cycle around corners do you ever worry about pedal strike? Cause I don't! 🤷 #tallbike #fedibikes #mastobikes #cycling

Looking out at Olso #tallbike

The current bane of my life. Those who know what this is, know my pain.
